It’s About Time.

John finds Rafe kneeling over Alison’s body at the pier, holding the bloody arrow. John questions Rafe as he goes though his bag. He finds a picture of Alison and Rafe together and realizes they are mother and son. They bag up Alison as Anna arrives. John hands over the murder weapon and tells her Rafe has not said a word.

At Kelly’s Molly is thinking about Rafe when TJ arrives. She tells him about feeding the boy she met by the pier and the more they talk, the more jealous TJ gets. Outside, Michael runs into Starr. He tells her what happened to ELQ and that Sonny is the one who gave the evidence to the paper. Sonny denied the whole thing but Connie told Michael what really happened. Starr chuckles at the idea of Connie telling the truth. They go inside and Starr thinks he should consider the idea that Connie is lying.

Liz finds AJ on the floor at ELQ. He thinks he is having a heart attack. She tries to calm him down and get him to shut up long enough to tell him it is just a panic attack. She saw the article about ELQ and understands what it means to him, but nothing is more important than his health. She also knows how it feels to be disappointed in yourself. He admits his recovery is what gave him the confidence to come back. He should have known Sonny would never let him have a relationship with Michael. He asks why she came by and she tells him about the bank stopping payment on the nurse’s ball check. He can’t help but hopes she won’t give up on it. Michael returns and AJ and him get to work.

Maxie tries to convince Lulu she can miss the baby appointment when Spin wheels Ellie into the apartment. Maxie is glad Ellie is going to be fine, but Ellie doubts it. Ellie has issue with Maxie sleeping with Spin and wants to have it out. She accuses Maxie of messing with her car that night, but she denies it. Maxie is sorry about everything that happened that night, but isn’t sorry that she now has closure from Spin. Ellie understands. Later, Spin and Ellie sip tea and are glad to move on with their lives. She doesn’t ever want to talk about that night again.

Britt lays into Sabrina at the nurse’s station and Patrick overhears everything. Emma is his life and whatever they had is over. Britt is shocked that he is dumping her and refuses to let it go. He insists this is the best thing for him and Emma. She pushes Sabrina and accuses her meddling of causing this breakup. Patrick jumps in, but Britt refuses to back off. She demeans Sabrina and tells Patrick that Sabrina set it all up so she can have him all to herself. She stomps off and Patrick asks Sabrina what Britt meant by that. Later, Maxie and Lulu show up for Maxie’s appointment and find Britt having a tantrum. They offer to come back but she thinks this is the perfect time for Lulu to learn something about her baby.

At Ferncliff, Sam tells Lucy that she saw Alison at the police station but she ran when she saw John. Lucy tries to get Sam to remember Rafe and Alison. Rafe was Lucy’s cousin, and he had a son with Alison. But the baby, who would be a teen now, was not Rafe’s child. Caleb was his father. Rafe was determined to protect them, so he left to find Caleb. But they just vanished and in her heart Lucy knew Caleb was the one who survived or Rafe would be here. Lucy insists that Alison and her son are in grave danger. Later, Lucy prays for Rafe to come and help them all.

At PCPD, John tells Anna about Alison coming by the station and recognizing him as Caleb. Anna brings Rafe a donut and tries to get him to open up about his mom. She takes off his cuffs as she questions him, but he still doesn’t say a word. She asks if he killed his mom and he finally tells her no - John did. Meanwhile, Sam returns and tells John about her meeting with Lucy.

TJ and Molly walk by the pier and stumble across the crime scene. The cop tells them some kid killed his mother.

When the SEC looks at your company, it really doesn't matter who was at the helm. If it was that easy, no CEO would have ever been charged. Changing a CEO only throws up a red flag, anyway. To say that it was Tracy & not AJ is ludicrous.

Having Liz around during a medical emergency is better than nothing I guess, but not much. All I know is, MY heart would be beating pretty fast if she stuck her hand inside MY shirt! NURSE!

Elizabeth: "Are you having a heart attack?"

Scrimmage: "No, but we'd both better take our clothes off, just to make sure."

Bayoubtr wrote: “And what was all that hot air AJ was spewing about being a corporate titan?”

That was AJ's good natured way of poking fun at himself in an attempt to make Elizabeth laugh, and perhaps to regain a little of his lost dignity from having a panic attack in front of her. Okay, it was a failed attempt at humor, but he WASN'T serious about that “corporate titan” stuff.

Right now, AJ is blaming Sonny because all the evidence POINTS to Sonny. I'm sure as soon as he learns that it was Tracy that leaked the story, he'd MUCH rather blame her, and I'm sure he would apologize to Michael for doubting his original instincts, but it'll be a cold day in hell before AJ ever apologizes to Sonny for anything.

So what if for once, Sonny gets accused of something he DIDN'T do? How many times has he gotten away with stuff he DID do? Plenty of times. In fact, Sonny has NEVER had to pay the price for any of his lawbreaking and other nefarious deeds, so this doesn't even come CLOSE to balancing the scales. I don't know what Sonny's so worried about anyway. Michael refers to him as “My Dad,” and calls AJ, “AJ.” Sonny needs to worry about Nuke, or she's going to end up in prison, just like her big brother, only this time Sam isn't going to confess to a crime and get convicted and sent to Pentonville in order to protect her. I must say that I would LOVE to see Nuke in prison.

PURE SPOILER-FREE SPECULATION:

Are you trying to tell me that somehow this kid Rafe is going to turn out to be McBat's SON? Are you KIDDING me??!! They're going to tie down the ONLY unencumbered character who was available for shoot-em-up adventure at the drop of a hat with a TEENAGE SON? Didn't they just go to extremes to separate him from his REAL son Liam, and more importantly his mother, to clear the way for Sam and McBat to hook up? Say it ain't so.

As for their resemblance, I don't see it. Rafe looks more like he could be Eli Manning's son, and that's not a good thing. Let's just say that Eli's face does not convey the impression of a great intellect.

I agree that the living situation at Maxie's is as untenable as it is unbelievable. Obviously, it was contrived precisely for the purposes of scenes such as we had today, and I fear we will have endless teases and near reveals about Spinbaby's paternity for the next several months, but it was at least useful to reset things, however temporarily. In the immortal words of NFL Coach Bill Parcells “Confrontation is healthy, because it clears the air very quickly.”

Speaking of confrontation, I really enjoyed Patrick's break up with Britt. It was precise, unambiguous, and delivered with all the precision you would expect from a surgeon of Patrick's enormous capabilities. He sliced up her heart and cut her long, luscious legs right out from under her in a few deft strokes. Bravo! A masterpiece version of the classic “It's not me, it's definitely YOU” breakup speech.

Britt's mask melted like she had a face full of fondue, and I wondered if Emma had been there instead of Sabrina, if Dr. Britt would've lashed out and blamed her in the same accusing way. Now we'll see just how true the old “Hell hath no fury...” jazz is when Britt has to deal with Maxie and Lulu. I have the feeling Dr. Britt has only just begun to vent her wrath, and cause chaos and wreak havoc on everyone in her path, and she will probably continue to do so until she gets laid again, but what hero will nobly sacrifice himself so that the rest of Port Charles can be safe?

Fear not, for I, Scrimmage will do what has to be done, for the sake of all concerned.

scrimmage..Since this happened on PC I do not consider it a spoiler. Allison & Caleb had sex one night due to a wish Livvie made on his ring. Allison nor him had control. All they knew is they wanted each other. Allison hated Caleb by the way. Anyway yes Rafe is Caleb's son. So it remains to be seen if McBat & Caleb are one in the same.

I am watching right now and was posting my comments and it refreshed and there they went, so I will paraphase my thoughts on today's show.

So glad Brit got her Karma. I cannot believe that she grabbed Sabrina and is blaming Sabrina. Brit is such a witch. She is insecure and desperate and deserves to be dumped.

Now on to Maxie. I am getting to where I can't stand her. She is so selfish. And Lulu needs to get clue. If I were Ellie, I would have got out of that wheelchair and kicked her butt. While Maxie is talking about how she used to scheme and lie to get guys, then Lulu looks at Ellie like "Oh look Maxie has changed". The icing on the cake was when Lulu said that Maxie was "selfless" for sleeping with Spinelli - really???

Michael and Starr - borrrrring. Michael is becoming the "AJ mini me".

Lynn Herring is knocking her scenes out of the ballpark. I almost believe in vampires listening to her.

Ok - now I am going to post before it refreshes again.

Poor Rafe. At least he got chili and a donut today.

Another comment about Brit - UNPROFESSIONAL!!! No matter what is going on in your life, if you are any type of professional (Doctor, Lawyer, CPA or whatever), you leave your personal life at home. You definitely do NOT throw a temper tantrum in front of your patients.

I LUV OLTL – Yeah, plus he met a little sweetheart like Molly, and he didn't seem all that fond of his mom, so from his point of view, Rafe is having a pretty good day.

MamaJJ - Thanks for the PC clarification, but it makes it even more confusing. If Rafe exists, then Caleb must exist, but how can Caleb and Livvie occupy the same universe as McBat and Sam? What is this, "Fringe" meets "The Vampire Diaries?"

***off topic***

Bayoubtr – Around here, our local sports radio guys refer to Eli Manning as being afflicted with a condition known as “dumb face.” He's a low-browed, mouth breather, with a pretty good arm and an amazing amount of luck, which earned him a Superbowl Ring. I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman, so take it from me. I know a neanderthal when I see one.
